This topic most likely has a short simple and positive answer. I can just not remember that I've heard about it.

For those that have multiple TextBlades, how do the configuration work with the app. Is each TB managed as a unique instance and its config uploaded to "the cloud" or are all your TBs getting the same config from "the cloud"?

That’s a good question and one I’m not sure of the answer. I have found that some info can be confusing. I have some slots the same as far as whether they are iOS or macOS but some are different. It seems these label and the names I give the slots always come from the last one I set up. But I think the actual settings on the prior one are unchanged unless I “apply” them to the prior tb. I probably should do some testing more carefully about this with different layouts, etc.

I can sort of see the need for both behaviors. I might want to have several types of configurations making it easy to have one TB with certain settings and another one with some other settings. At the same time I want to replicate settings to a new one very quickly.

I guess this could be done at least ok by letting each configuration be two levels of templates.1. Template per slot2. Template of templates per slot

I believe the intention is for this to be handled by having a different ‘account’ on the Waytools server for each configuration that you want to have. I can see this becoming quite a common scenario with a ‘his’ and ‘hers’ TextBlades having different customisation but only a single iOS device responsible for configuring both of them.

I do not believe that this is yet an area that has been fully explored during the TREG process as we do not yet have many users with multiple TextBlades! I can see there being improvements (hopefully post General Release so it is not a ‘gating’ issue) in the TextBlade app to handle different scenarios around managing multiple Textblades.

If you go to the Waytools homepage, go to the "Buy" tab and look at the Multimap product that can be purchased, it looks like Multimap is associated with the TextBlade with which it was purchased. In other words, it looks like one Multimap cannot be used with multiple TextBlades. However, once you publish a layout from Multimap to the community server, it may be possible to download your custom map back to any other TextBlade you own. I may be mistaken, but that's the way it reads to me.

One question remains. Since the community feature seems to be found in the Multimap app, can a TextBlade without associated Multimap download from the community maps, or can it only use the map that came with it originally?

I have two TextBlades on order, so this is an area I’d like to find answers for AHEAD of General Release. This sounds like something we should be testing unless @waytools says they are intending for this to be fleshed out/enabled/debugged AFTER General Release.
